Exactly what I do. The iron doesn't sit on any pin of a chip for more than
two seconds, and then I give that chip 20 seconds to cool while I do
something else.

But, I always solder the two corner pins and let the chip
cool wheil I go to 2 corner pins as I insert the next chip until 
I have them ALL on the PCB.  Then I go back and solder two
more pins on each one, rotating through so each chip gets 
some "heat rest" as I make my rounds.  I do this until I have all 
pins soldered.
